I try very hard not to believe in evil as a real pure literal thing. People are neither wholly good or wholly evil, we contain multitudes.
Repeatedly hearing how a majority of republicans in my country support ripping nursing infants from their mothers, into cages or internment camps because of some accident of nationality... .. challenges this.
It is clear we as a nation have failed, we have no collective sense of humanity left.

I heard my coworkers talking about this yesterday. They all supported this, saying that since the children were put in air conditioning and had video games so that it makes it okay.
So much for "family values." I have to wonder if these people would say the same thing about children taken away by Child Protective Services from parents who have been accused of child abuse. I'll bet in that case they'd support the parents.
